The Northville High School Class of 1952 is looking for a few old friends.

The '52 Mustangs have a 65th reunion later this month, and reunion chairman Howard Meyer is hoping to spread the word to classmates he's lost track of since the last reunion five years ago.

So far, roughly 25 people — 1952 graduates, spouses and even some from from '51 and '52 — are planning to attend, Meyer said, but there are several others with whom he'd like to get in touch.

As people in his class move, Meyer said, they often drop their landline phones in favor of cellular phones. "We just can't reach 'em any more," he said.

The reunion is 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, at the Garage Grill & Fuel Bar, 202 W. Main in Northville. It's a fitting location, as the building — then a gas station called Atchison's Gulf — was a hangout for students from Meyer's class. The high school was just down the street.

"Everybody bought their gas there, 'cause it was convenient, plus we would sometimes go in and do a little work on our cars, because they had a hoist," Meyer said.

The reunion will be held in the Garage's banquet room, which the owners are letting the class use gratis, and attendees can simply order off the menu.

Some in the class will be heading to the new Northville High on Six Mile after the reunion for the 7 p.m. football game against Plymouth High School.

"Hopefully, we'll get enough of them that are interested in going," Meyer said. "I imagine a lot of these people haven't gone, probably since high school, to view a game."

There were 78 graduates in the Class of '52, Meyer said, including four German exchange students. Meyer is a retired Ford Motor Co. mechanical engineer and lives in Plymouth Township with his wife, Charlotte.

His class had held quite a few reunions in the 65 years since graduating, Meyer said, including a 60th, 55th, 50th, 40th and a 30th. Class members would all be in their 80s now.

"This is going to be our last. I'm just losing track of so many people," Meyer said. "We're getting down to a very small number now."

Class of '52 members who would like to join the reunion can phone Meyer at 734-453-2159 for more information or simply show up at the Garage.
